Enamel Mug Organizer
6:00:00 AM
This project was one that came to me in the
middle of the night.
You know, those hours you spend looking up at the ceiling because your husband is snoring.
Well believe it or not, that is when I "dream up" some of these projects.
Last night I was thinking about the 3 beautiful enamel mugs I had that were too large to use as actual mugs.
This morning, using screws and glue I attached these 3
enamel mugs to a reclaimed piece of wood.
One up and 2 sideways make a great organizer.
Those cup handles make perfect towel hooks.
In the kitchen it holds pretty table linens.
In the bathroom it can hold a towel and bathroom supplies.
The top cup is perfect for a plant.
In the craft room it is great for holding supplies.
I added chalkboard stickers to a mug for labeling.
In my unique craft room... it fits right in!
I wonder what I will dream up tonight?
Want to make one too? (affiliate links)

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this! It's perfect. I love that you put the handles facing in different directions to give more options for storage - my favorite is the towel hanging from the middle cup!

ReplyDeleteAnother genius idea, Susan! This cute thang will be featured in Party Junk this weekend! Thanks for the cool idea!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for featuring it in Party Junk Donna :)
DeleteNew to crafting! Where do you find that chain for holding up the board and cups? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe chains are reclaimed from old windows.
DeleteYou can buy several sizes, lengths and types of chain at your hardware stores.
DeleteBrilliant idea... plz help how to fix the cups on the wooden board.
ReplyDeleteThanks
Hi Bhavna! I actually drilled holes through the mugs and attached them with screws. You need to use tape over the hole you are drilling so it doesn't chip the enamel mug. Good luck!
DeleteLove the color of your mugs and pairing it with the reclaimed wood. I wish brilliant ideas like that would hit me while I was listening to my husband snore! Thanks for sharing this versatile piece!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did here Susan, so creative. Just brilliant
